Avocado and Grapefruit Salad with Aji Panca Vinaigrette

Aji panca's light fruitiness pairs well with assertive, aromatic grapefruit and buttery avocado—it plays off their best attributes and brings them closer together. Though this a decidedly winter salad, it feels summery, and it'd be the perfect accompaniment for a winter grill fest-turned-taco night. Or dice the fruit fine and pile it on toast for breakfast. Yes, you'll need to segment your grapefruit for this, but once you get a little practice it's easy and kind of fun. If you buy an extra couple practice grapefruit you'll be a pro by serving time.

Procedures

1

Arrange grapefruit and avocado on four plates. Top with sprinkles of red onion and aji panca. On each plate, drizzle 2 teaspoons reserved grapefruit juice over avocado slices, covering well to prevent browning. Then drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil over each plate. Add salt, mostly on avocado, to taste, starting with 1/4 teaspoon per plate. Serve immediately.
